Flesh and Fire: Book One of the Vineart War Audiobook

" I couldn't get myself to finish this typical boring book. I just didn't find myself caring about the main character at all. Sure - he's a natural, and as he's learning, the master is so surprised to see that he gets it right away, with every single spell - every single time. oye. "

" Magic system based on winemaking. COOOOOL. Well written, great characters, I can't wait to see what happens in the next volume. "

" Great premise. Flesh and Fire had more the feel of a prequel, setting up for action, than the first book in a series. I'm looking forward to the next volume, though I hope the action ramps up a bit and the plot gets a little less vague. "

" This is the 1st book I have read by this Auther. Enjoyed the story very much.Hated to see it end. The story moved along very well. Liked the magic system, liked the use of wine to preform magic. Waiting for the next book in the series. "

" Very interesting twist on fantasy/magic! Loved the characters. The world was interesting. Intrigue and mystery. What's not to like? Can't wait to read the next one in the series! Would highly recommend this to all fantasy fans. "

" I am utterly fascinated by the unique nature of magic in this world. It is vividly realized and I really wish I had grabbed all 3 volumes of the trilogy at the library at once. Now I have to wait to see what happens next! "

" This book took a long time to get rolling. I didn't find it particularly interesting until the last few chapters. Considering that I loved Hard Magic from the first chapter, the first in her paranormal scene investigators series, I was surprised that this one moved so slow. I liked her characters but plot-wise little happened until the end when suddenly the main character was in mortal trouble. I will get the next one in this series from the library. "

" Read at Lynn Flewelling's suggestion... I think I'm one of the few people who lack the requisite obsession with wine and the making there-of to make this book fascinating. It was an interesting book, but not voraciously so. An interesting main character, but I could have enjoyed a faster pace. "

" Pretty "meh" book in my opinion, especially for a Nebula nominee. Though the unique take on a magic system was fun the bulk of it was pretty standard fantasy fare without anything else to really grab me. "

" A fun book with an interesting premise. Also, be prepared to want to drink a glass or two while reading. "

" Well, that was an enjoyable introduction to a new world of magic based on grapes! I could only have wished for a bit more progress in revelations about the big bad but I guess I'll just have to tune in for the next volume. "

" First in a new series that I'm interesting in seeing more of. Interesting fantasy novel concept. Nice job developing the characters & setting - was disappointed when the story ended (which is a good thing!). "

" While the first half of the book seemed rather predictable and a bit cliched, the second half grabbed onto me a good deal more and in the end I was interested enough I had to go and order Book 2. There's a Book 3 coming out in this fall. "

" Pretty "meh" book in my opinion, especially for a Nebula nominee. Though the unique take on a magic system was fun the bulk of it was pretty standard fantasy fare without anything else to really grab me. "

" I was quite impressed with this book, it was something completely different in the Fantasy genre. I can't wait for the sequel! "

" a good book, but it was pretty much standard fantasy fare, with the unique characteristic that spells were cast using wine "

" Well, that was an enjoyable introduction to a new world of magic based on grapes! I could only have wished for a bit more progress in revelations about the big bad but I guess I'll just have to tune in for the next volume. "

" An interesting world and magic system [magic comes from wine, and the type of grape/vintage affects its properties:], but the entire story felt like a prelude: what would normally be the first quarter or third of an epic fantasy. "

" I couldn't get myself to finish this typical boring book. I just didn't find myself caring about the main character at all. Sure - he's a natural, and as he's learning, the master is so surprised to see that he gets it right away, with every single spell - every single time. oye. "
